  Stevenson is a native of Superior, Wis., and was an outstanding basketball player on teams coached by the late C.W. (Clem) Letich, and earlier Hall of Fame inductee. His UND cage career spanned the era just before World War II. Stevenson was a standout at both ends of the court and he made things happen because of his intensity, ability and his leadership. He lettered three times in basketball, 1939-42, and was named to the All North Central Conference team as a forward and center, which was an honor very few men had achieved. He led UND individual scoring all three seasons he played and was considered by knowledgeable basketball people to be one of the premier players in the midwest during that era.
